Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests

Not defending the move, I’d take upgradability in a laptop.

Only makes a difference at oc levels of manual tuning. Which apple isn’t doing at their factory I reckon.

I mean, when you’re the one manufacturing the board, I’m pretty sure you could eek out some more baseline performance without having to tweak each one for OC in the production line, my dude.

At 100gb/s for the base model there probably actively downclocking the ram to make the higher end models more attractive.
